On the internet I've seen conflicting information on this. The official tourist info they say "in the city centre and near Kyoto Station you can only smoke in designated areas". On other forums though they say it's like this in entirety of Kyoto, but outside city centre I don't see any smoking areas. Can someone who actually has some experience with these restrictions here explain where I can and where I cannot actually smoke here?
